Mark made the whole thing look flawless, and after hearing some of his stories this job is one of the less dangerous ones he’s worked on. He used to be a logger in Montana and worked the sides of Mountains. Most of his stories contain the phrase “…one mistake and you’re over the side of a 100’-0” cliff…”. It was great to have him on the job. His experience made the severity of the hillside seem much less dangerous than it is. We couldn’t have done it without him.
